Item No: 10A <br />Meeting Date: March 27, 2000 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Planner <br />Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, Second Reading and Adoption of <br />Ordinance 655, an Ordinance Approving a <br />Rezoning of Bridges Golf Course Parcels from CRP <br />(Conservancy, Recreation and Preservation) and <br />I-1 (Industrial) to PF (Public Facilities.) <br />Date of Report: March 22, 2000 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In the course of processing the City’s application for billboards at the Golf Course, <br />staff has realized that certain Bridges Golf Course parcels are zoned CRP <br />(Conservancy, Recreation and Preservation) and I-1 (Industrial). Golf Courses are <br />not explicitly permitted uses within either the CRP or I-1 zoning districts. The only <br />zoning designation explicitly permitting golf courses is the PF, Public Facilities, district. <br /> In addition, it is presumed that the PF zoning designation would be more <br />advantageous with regard to the City’s application for billboards, at least with regard <br />to the CRP designation. <br /> <br />The City Council held the first reading of this Ordinance on March 14, 2000. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Rezoning the properties associated with the golf course to a PF (Public Facilities) <br />designation would seem to be the most appropriate way to achieve consistency with <br />the Zoning Code, considering golf courses are explicitly permitted uses within the PF <br />district. In addition, the PF designation would be in keeping with the zoning of all <br />other city parks. In addition to achieving consistency with the Zoning Code, rezoning <br />the golf course so that all parcels have the PF designation would be more consistent <br />with the proposed Comprehensive Plan of the City, which designates the Golf Course <br />as SRO, or, Outdoor Sport and Recreation. Staff contends that the proposed PF <br />zoning designation would be more consistent with SRO land use designation. All other <br />City parks, which are zoned PF, are also designated SRO in the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Given the present zoning designations of golf course parcels and their relative <br />inconsistency with the proposed Comprehensive Plan, staff recommends that the <br />City Council approve the first second reading and adoption of Ordinance 655, an <br />ordinance rezoning Bridges Golf Course properties from CRP and I-1 to PF, Public <br />Facilities. This action requires a roll call vote.
